Can a proxy server affect TechConnect connectivity?
Solution: Many large companies (such as McGraw-Hill) and many schools use a proxy server to help manage Internet usage by employees/students. Such a system provides increased security and control over what a user can view. However, oftentimes, this increased security comes at the expense of a users ability to configure his or her system. Therefore, some users will make proper and necessary adjustments to browsers and still not achieve success due to a setting at the proxy-server level. In this case users should contact their system administrator.
